An art reference board for painters, illustrators and designers — hundreds of images on one infinite surface, and every board saved as a file you own.
The board

- Free rotation to any angle, plus crop, resize, and replace in place.
- Layers for z-order, grouping, duplication, and undo/redo on everything.
- Rich text directly on the board — headings, lists, and links.
- Optional snapping to a grid you set.
Getting references in
- Share images, links, and text into a board from any app.
- Add from your photo library, the camera, or Files.
